Can Grass Change Nakashima’s Fortunes
After an impressive run on grass last year, Brandon Nakashima will be looking for a repeat performance this year.
Last year, the American produced his best ever Grand Slam performance in Wimbledon, reaching the round of 16. He was also a quarterfinalist in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and in the Surbton Challenger but he went down in the round of 16 in Eastbourne, after qualifying for the main draw and winning his first round match.
This year, the world no. 54 is 1-2 on grass, as he fell in the opening round of the Rosmalen Open, and could win just one round in Halle.
Overall, Nakashima is 6-9 at the tour level and 8-11 overall this year.
His best was a semifinal finish on clay in Lyon, however, he has failed to win consecutive matches in any of the other tournaments this year.
